SUMMER OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS 18 +

CampSuzuki-HoweSound-emailThis summer, 18- to 30-year-olds from across Howe Sound and Metro Vancouver will take part in the David Suzuki Foundation’s first Camp Suzuki Program! The three-part program combines summer camp with volunteer experience and leadership training to prepare youth age 18 to 30 to become Howe Sound champions.
PART ONE: CAMP
From August 9 to 14, 2015, participants will be immersed on Gambier Island in the unforgettable fun of outdoor summer camp. They’ll spend mornings learning about the region’s amazing ecosystems, from Western-based science and Squamish First Nations’ traditional knowledge perspectives. Evenings will be devoted to learning the hard skills needed to be successful conservation leaders.
PART TWO: VOLUNTEER
Participants will then apply their newfound skills through a six-month, part-time placement with a local community organization that works for the betterment of Howe Sound.
PART THREE: REUNION
Youth are invited back to camp after placements for a reunion to share their experiences and solidify their connections with the region and each other.
Youth will leave the Camp Suzuki program empowered, connected and equipped to champion a healthy Howe Sound. Does this sound like you? Head to our website for more information and to APPLY BY MAY 15!!!
